SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,597, dated December 9, 1890.

Application tiled March 24, 1890. Serial No. 345,036. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOSEPH FINEGoLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Denver, in the county of Arapahoe and State of Colorado, have invented certain new and useful 1o to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Myinvention relates to a new and improved I5 form and construction of trousers; and the object of my invention is to produce a pair of trousers having but one seam in each leg, said seam being an outside seam, and also to produce a pair of trousers which shall have a zo double back, or which shall be so re-enforced Tf W4in the back or seat as to render them superior to trousers of ordinary pattern and make.

The further object ot' my invention is to economize both labor and material in the manufacture of pantaloons, which when completed shall be a strong garment equal to or better in every respect than those made by the ordinary method, and in which'there is little or no danger of ripping in the crotch or 3o seat, the seat or back being so re-enforced or doubled as to render them much more durable and lasting than those wherein said part is single.

To these ends my invention consists in the features more particularly hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings is illustrated an embodiment of my invention, wherein- Figure 1 is a View showing the blank or 4o pattern of a piece of cloth forming the front and back of one leg of a pair of trousers; Fig. 2, a view showing the blanks or patterns for both legs assembled. Fig. 3 is a back or rear view of a complete pair of trousers made after my. improved style, said view showing the manner of re-enforcing the back or seat thereof.

Reference being made to the accompanying drawings, the reference-numeral l desig- 5o nates the main or body portion of the trousers-leg, said piece being so cut or fashioned that when the' free side edges 2 and 3 are sewed together it shall form one leg or half of a pair of trousers, which shall be made and adapted to lit as perfectly as those made after the ordinary manner. The seam formed by the sewing of the free side edges 2 and 3 together is the outside seam of the trousersle'g and extends the entire length of said edge. The free edge et, formed by cutting out a portion of the upper part of piece 1 when sewed to the corresponding edge of a similaipiece forms the seam in the seat. or crotch of the trousers where the two legs are united. Continuous with the upper portion of the front part of one leg of the trousers is the fly v or iiap 5. Continuous with the upper portion of the back part of each leg of the trousers is the re-enforcing piece 6, the dotted line 7 indicating the place where the seam in the seat of a pair of trousers made after the ordinary way and formed by the union of the two legs thereat would be.

The reference-numeral 8 designates a piece of clot-h continuous and integral with piece l, extending up from pieeel and adapted to be folded over, thereby forming the waistband or aportion thereof integral with the trousers.

The cut or notch 0 is designed as a suitable means of making the waist of the trousers of any size desired.

In Fig. 2 is illustrated the manner of assembling or joining the two legs, and consists in placing the two legs l 1 so that the ,re-enforcing strips 6 may overlap each other and a portion of the seat or back of the trousers be re-enforced or doubled by said pieces overlapping, the free edge lO of said piece 6 being sewed to the cloth of the opposite leg, as indicated in Fig. 3,dotted line 1l indicating the free edge of piece G of the left leg, which is sewed on the inside of the right leg, and the full line l2 the free edge of piece 6 of the right leg, said piece being sewed on the outside of the cloth of the left leg.

It will be observed that it makes no difference which of pieces 6 is on the outside, and also that the shape of said pieces 6 may be governed by the dictates of artistic tasto.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim is- As an article of manufacture, a pair of IOO trousers consisting of two pieces of materiel, the back p ortion of the waistband is formed, each piece having a leg portion and ain enas set forth. xo larged bifureated body portion, one branch in testimony whereof Inx my signaturein of said bifurcated portion forming half of the presence of two Witnesses.
